said by howardfine:Besides the desktop, Windows is almost absent and it is *nix that rules that world. Something like 80% of the internet runs on *nix. As does most of the tablet and phone world. Many of the operating systems on devices like DVR's and routers use *nix. The scientific world runs on *nix.
The future and present computing world is mobile and mobile runs on *nix. So if Microsoft wants to compete in mobile, they have to go after it. Rather than compete with decent sofrtware, apparently they want to try and sue their way into competing.
So the litigation strategy they've had since the 80s was an amazingly precognitive approach to where they would end up in 2012?
Seriously you need to pick some line of reasoning and stick with it. This constant flip flopping between "They have a monopoly and must be killed" to "They are irrelevant and only can survive by suing others", while comical, is really hard to grasp logically.
